Last night’s dinner comes compliments of The Daring Gourmet where I tweaked her Slow Cooker Greek Chicken recipe by making it sous vide.

Also, this dish got the call because there was no pork shoulder available to make pulled pork! LOL So dig in and enjoy, we all need a little comfort right now. Save Print Sloppy Joes Prep time: 10…
